Spirit Divine, Attend My Prayers
1. Spirit divine, attend our prayers,
And make this house Your home;
Descend with all Your gracious powers;
O come, great Spirit, come!
2. Come as the light; to us reveal
Our emptiness and woe;
And lead us in those paths of life
Where all the righteous go.
3. Come as the fire and purge our hearts
Like sacrificial flame;
Let our whole soul an offering be
To our Redeemer's name.
4. Come as the dove and spread Your wings,
The wings of peaceful love;
And let the church on earth become
Blest as the church above.
5. Spirit divine, attend our prayers;
Make a lost world Your home;
Descend with all Your gracious powers;
O come, great Spirit, come!
